Installation Recommendations
Before Starting Work, Disconnect The Battery To Avoid Risk When The Belt Assembly Includes A Pyrotechnic Pretensioner. Remove Interior Trim Panels Carefully To Access The Retractor And Anchor Bolts. Unbolt The Old Unit, Note The Webbing Routing And Any Electrical Connectors, Then Install The Replacement In Reverse Order.
Ensure The Retractor Is Correctly Anchored And The Webbing Routes Freely Without Twists. Tighten Mounting Bolts To The Manufacturer’S Specified Torque (Follow Citroën Service Data). Replace Any Damaged Fasteners Or Clips. After Installation, Fully Extract The Belt Several Times To Confirm Smooth Retraction And Positive Locking Under A Quick Tug.
If The Assembly Contains A Pretensioner, Do Not Attempt Repairs On The Pyrotechnic Component; Follow Safety Procedures And Handle As An Srs Component.

- Locking Mechanism Sticking Because Of Contamination Or Foreign Objects.
